“What floor?”

Sometimes guys spend too much time trying to think of the perfect way to open a conversation; as a result, they run out of time and never say anything at all. Don’t over-think your morning icebreakers. You don’t always need to be witty or charming right off the bat. The most important thing is that you establish verbal communication. Saying something is always better than saying nothing at all! For example, when in the elevator, a polite gesture -- like asking a woman “What floor?” and pushing the button for her -- is often enough to get the ball rolling.
